'How To Set Up Arch Linux For Gaming - Step-by-Step Guide'

This video covers an easy method of setting up Arch Linux for gaming so that you can play both native and Windows developed games using Steam Proton or Lutris.

Step 1. Install Latest GPU Driver.

Step 2. Install Wine Dependencies.


Step 3. Install Steam & Enable Proton.

Open up a Terminal, and run the following command.

sudo pacman -S steam

Once installed, run Steam, install any updates, and sign into your Steam account.

Enable Proton to work with all your Steam library by navigating to Steam / Steam Play / Advanced, and ticking the Enable Steam Play for all other titles.

Reboot Steam once done

Step 4. Install Lutris.

Open up a Terminal, and run the following command.

sudo pacman -S lutris

You have no idea how many times I've had to watch your vids covering Arch stuff when I needed help with something. You always pull through! Thank you so, so much! Wish you only the best! :)

You don't need to press "y" to confirm. You can just press enter. You can note what option is default because the Y in Y/n is a capital letter.

Amazing to know it's this easy, funnily enough my arch install already had multilib uncommented and I just had to install wine-staging (I prefer over stable) and lutris and it worked just fine, not a big fan of steam as the games I wanna play aren't sold anymore, thanks for the guide mate, cheers!

Thank you so much!! I've spent the past two days re-learning how to work with Linux, and I've pulled out too many of my hairs trying to install so many packages and wondering what broke. It really was just this easy all along.

This video is a good reason to start this year playing Blasphemous (it is linux-native already).
Before I was using proton-ge and it is a wonderfull & helpfull application.
Happy New Year Ryan and plenty of linux adventures

I'm about to get a new laptop and decided I was going to put arch on it because I'm used to arch and it seems like the overall best option, and I'm sure this video is going to help a lot!

Thank you! I was slightly worried about installing arch because I wasn’t sure if my drivers would work properly. Love from the UK 🇬🇧

I used to compile the Licorix kernel and it's one of the fastest distro for gaming out there. Gaming is very fast and smooth.

[AmoryMuerte]

You are the best! Thanks for the help!

Thank you for making this video! I like that you explain what the different steps do. Ive got a question about sandboxing though, does it make sense to go through the hoops of installing steam and lutris as flatpaks to make possible anti-cheats less invasive?

I'll be following this after my exams are over... can't wait to try out CSGO on Arch :D
